The Heart of Operation: REPLENISH - Nicole’s Journey

Nicole Joy Ledina endured a courageous battle but passed away from a rare autoimmune condition before she could fulfill her heartfelt wish:

Nicole Joy Ledina - Our Founder, said to her Dad shortly before her passing:

“I want to replenish all the blood they used on me and more… so others will have a chance at life.”

Operation: REPLENISH is our collective mission to carry Nicole’s legacy forward — joining together to replenish the blood supply, save lives, and bring hope to those in need.

What is Operation: REPLENISH ?

Operation: REPLENISH is a lifesaving blood donation and fundraising program, launched in partnership with the San Diego Blood Bank/Southern California Blood Bank. This initiative honors Nicole’s legacy by mobilizing our community in a mission to save lives.

Through our Blood Drive, ongoing donor registrations, and a new supporter participation campaign, we’re working to replenish the blood supply so more lives can be saved.
